WHILE SPEAKING WITH A REPRESENTATIVE, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED OF AN UNKNOWN RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE SERVICED FOR THE RECALL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT DID NOT ASSIST BECAUSE NO CODES APPEARED WHEN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

VISIBILITY/WIPER, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR HAS AN INNER PLASTIC PIECE BROKEN WHICH MAKES THE SUN VISOR RANDOMLY FALL, BLOCKING MY VIEW WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON MANY 2014 PATHFINDERS THAT CAN BE FIXED BY MAKING THE PARTS (VISOR) BETTER, OR BY SELLING A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT EASILY BREAKS. INSTEAD, THE MANUFACTURER ONLY SELLS AS A REPLACEMENT PART, THE EXACT SAME VISOR THAT IS LIKELY TO BREAK AGAIN. A SECOND ISSUE ON THIS CAR IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE DOOR. I FIND MYSELF OFTEN TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR OR OUTSIDE THE CAR DUE TO THIS DOOR HANDLE MALFUNCTION. THIS COULD EASILY BECOME A LIFE/DEATH SAFETY ISSUE IF EVER I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND WAS TRAPPED INSIDE THE CAR. THIS IS ANOTHER COMMON DEFECT ON THIS CAR CAUSED BY A CHEAP PLASTIC PIECE BREAKING. ANOTHER PROBLEM BESIDES BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR IS THAT SOMETIMES THE DOOR OPENS WHILE DRIVING. THESE SAFETY ISSUES COMMON IN THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY WITH A SAFETY RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. I HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER. I HAD MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THIS COULD HAVE LED TO A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. THE CAR IS 4.5 YEARS OLD AND HAS UNDER 39,000 MILES ON IT. NISSAN HAS DETERMINED THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND IS REPLACING IT UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE 2013 AND 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDERS ARE WELL KNOWN AT THIS POINT. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. ORDER A RECALL NOW.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS DEFECTIVE, LEADING TO IMPAIRED VISIBILITY DURING DRIVING. THE VISOR SOMETIMES FALLS TO A VERTICAL POSITION UNDER GRAVITY ONLY. THIS OBSTRUCTS FORWARD VISION AND ALSO OBSTRUCTS LINE OF SIGHT TO THE REARVIEW MIRROR. AT OTHER TIMES, THE VISOR PARTIALLY SAGS, CREATING A CONDITION WHERE THE FRONT EDGE OF THE VISOR IS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE DRIVER'S FACE. IT'S FORESEEABLE THAT A CONDITION COULD OCCUR WHERE THE VISOR COULD CAUSE INJURY BY CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER'S FACE DURING SUDDEN DECELERATION. THERE ARE NO POSITIONS THAT THE VISOR CAN BE PUT IN THAT DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE DRIVER'S VISION.

WE HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN FOR HELP AND THEY HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY RUDE AND UNWILLING TO HELP US AT ALL. THEY BASICALLY SAID TO BAD IT'S YOUR PROBLEM NOT OURS.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR NO LONGER STAYS IN THE 'UP' POSITION AND 'OPENS' WHENEVER I AM DRIVING, ESPECIALLY IF I HIT A BUMP. THE VISOR SUDDENLY DROPS AND HANGS DOWN, DIRECTLY IMPAIRING MY ABILITY TO SEE THE ROAD. WHENEVER I TRY TO PUT THE VISOR BACK UP TO ITS 'UP' POSITION IT MAKES A LOUD CREAKING NOISE

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
SOMETIMES MY PATHFINDER DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT TYPICALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM TRYING TO DRIVE AFTER A STOP SIGN OR A RED LIGHT, BUT SOMETIMES IT WILL EVEN HAPPEN WHEN I'M TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. IT'S INTERMITTENT, SO IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME.
